President Tsai Ing-wen says Taiwan is on the front line of defending democracy and is working closely with the U.S. to safeguard security in the region. Her remarks came during a meeting with the largest visiting U.S. Congressional delegation in recent years.

- A spokesperson for Taiwan's Presidential Office has resigned following reports she had an affair with a married man.
- Herel Hughes tells the story of the woman who started China's #MeToo movement, who has been detained for two years.
- Taiwanese Beijing Opera master Wei Haimin has taken on three official apprentices to pass on the knowledge of her decades-long career.
